Through a revolutionary method known as somaforming, astronauts can survive in hostile environments off Earth using synthetic biological supplementations. They can produce antifreeze in sub-zero temperatures, absorb radiation and convert it for food, and conveniently adjust to the pull of different gravitational forces. With the fragility of the body no longer a limiting factor, human beings are at last able to explore neighbouring exoplanets long suspected to harbour life. Ariadne is one such explorer. On a mission to ecologically survey four habitable worlds fifteen light-years from Earth, she and her fellow crewmates sleep while in transit, and wake each time with different features. But as they shift through both form and time, life back on Earth has also changed. Faced with the possibility of returning to a planet that has forgotten those who have left, Ariadne begins to chronicle the wonders and dangers of her journey, in the hope that someone back home might still be listening."--Publisher 651 0 $a Outer space $x Moral and ethical aspects $x Moral and ethical aspects $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Life on other planets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Astronauts $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Time dilatation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Genetic engineering $v Fiction. 651 6 $a Espace extra-atmospheÌrique $x Aspect moral $x Aspect moral $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Vie extraterrestre $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Astronautes $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Temps $x Dilatation $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a Life on other planets $v Fiction. $2 cct 650 7 $a Astronauts $v Fiction. $2 cct 650 7 $a Time dilatation $v Fiction. $2 cct 650 7 $a Genetic engineering $v Fiction. $2 cct 650 7 $a Discoveries in geography $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 cct 650 7 $a Science fiction. $2 cct 651 7 $a Outer space $x Exploration. $2 cct 650 7 $a Astronauts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00819615 650 7 $a Discoveries in geography $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01352726 650 7 $a Genetic engineering. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00940027 650 7 $a Life on other planets. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00998301 650 7 $a Time dilatation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01151103 651 7 $a Outer space. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01243437 655 7 $a novellas. $2 aat 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novellas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921741 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726489 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novellas. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novellas. $2 rvmgf 776 08 $i Ebook version : $z 9781473697171 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20240219085503.0 $n 5 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=49033E84CF3111EE9084F518253FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
